True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.

From Galatians 2:20:  “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me.  And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Arthur Walkington (A. W.) Pink (1886-1952) was an English Bible teacher and Christian writer.  Following his death, many of his writings were well-received by readers.  This turnabout established him as an influential evangelical author.

Robert Fulghum Quote

What’s necessary to live a meaningful life–that isn’t all that complicated.  Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in the sandpile at Sunday School.

From Proverbs 5:5-6:  “Get wisdom; get insight: do not forget nor turn away from the words of My mouth.  Do not forsake her, and she will keep you; love her, and she will guard you.”

Robert Fulghum (born 1937) is an American author.

We need to remember how our own words can act as a sharpened sword filled with harsh cruelty or as a blessed tool of compassion and grace.

From John 11:14-16:  “I am the good shepherd. I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father.  And I lay down My life for the sheep.  I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold.  I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice.  So there will be one flock, one shepherd.”

Nothing makes us more uncertain and insecure than not being sure we are in the will of God.  And nothing is more encouraging than knowing for sure that we are.

From 1 John 2:17:  “And the world and its desire are passing away, but those who do the will of God abide forever.”
